Would you consider the audio edition of A Chesapeake Shores Christmas to be better than the print version?

I've really been enjoying Sherryl Woods Chesapeake Shore stores and was excited that Mick and Megan were finally going to remarry. I just didn't like the continued lack of trust especialy on Megan's part. If she trusted Mick enough to say yes to his proposal then Connor should not have been allowed to control the situation by his self-centered attitude.

What about Christina Traister’s performance did you like?

She's been doing the series and the consistancy of her doing the characters really adds to the interpretation.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I really liked how Mick went all out to show Megan he had changed. Already having the Inn reserved for thier wedding was very touching.

Oh how I wish I had a family like this one, I understand all points of view that this family is dealing with. I come from a very fractured family unit and have not spoken to them in such a long time, and reading this book has given me ides on how to begin to repair.
